Let's be honest, long eyelashes are a need, not a want. You want to be sure your lashes are always looking their best. The answer? Investing in an eyelash serum, of course. Not everyone is blessed with luscious lashes that would put their local lash tech out of business, or can afford a lash lift and tint every month, so aside from reaching for the false lashes, these serums can help your natural lashes thrive.

Over recent years, we have seen these brilliant conditioning products take centre stage as brands such as Revitalash, Glow For It and Benefit, have brought out their own versions for us all to enjoy. Whether you’re wanting to give your lashes some TLC or have an important event coming up, then we have you covered for the best lash serums to invest in. And trust us, some of these we've tried ourselves.

What’s even better is some of these have been celeb-approved with the likes of Made In Chelsea's Sophie Habboo using UKLASH's Eyelash Serum in the run up to her wedding day to partner and podcast co-host, Jamie Laing last year. Meanwhile the lovely Molly-Mae Hague has been raving about the Nanolash Eyelash Serum all over her socials.

Ready to live your best lash life? Then look no further, because we've listed the best eyelash serums available to buy right now.

Gloriously long lashes await.

UKLASH Eyelash SerumUKLASH

Made with a formulation of vitamins and peptides to encourage lash growth and nourish your existing lashes, the Eyelash Serum from UKLASH is one to add to your beauty routine.

With countless eyelash serums on the market, you can’t help but question, “Do they really work?” Style Writer Ella Shire put RevitaLash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner to the test.

“Unfortunately, I wasn’t blessed with long, luscious lashes, so I’ve always been on the hunt for new products that will give my lashes a boost. After only 12 weeks of using Revitalash, I was astounded to see how long and thick my lashes had become, and as a devoted mascara user, I can finally go out without wearing any. The application is quick and easy, and I recommend adding it to your nighttime routine. I can’t and won’t ever go back to not using an eyelash serum again.”

What ingredients should you look for in an eyelash serum?

Castor oil

Serums work to give your natural lashes a boost, especially if they contain oils such as castor oil.

According to Dr Nick Fisherman, a trichologist who works closely with Watermans, black castor oil, for example, is known to moisturise and increase hair growth.

"It also helps prevent hair breakage", he says, and it's safe to use on your eyelashes.

"Castor oil is a safe and proven remedy that has been used for a while to treat conditions like hair loss. Castor oil can thicken eyelashes if you use it continuously."

Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as the building blocks of collagen and keratin. Peptides can easily penetrate the hair follicle and can aid in preventing breakage and increasing moisture.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E can moisturise and strengthen the eyelashes and is found in many skincare and haircare products.
